Our mission is to provide excellent physical surroundings, equipment, and support services to conventions, trade shows, weddings, family gatherings, non-profit galas and local celebrations. We strive for excellent execution of the event plan by an experienced staff to maximize the client’s outcome and the guests’ pleasure and safety.
Felts Field began as Parkwater Airstrip in 1920. Renamed in 1927 after the famous aviator James Buell Felts, the airport has witnessed many historic events including Charles Lindbergh’s visit in 1927 and Nick Mamer’s endurance flight in 1929. Considered the birthplace of airmail service in 1929 and passenger service in the early 1930s, Felts Field played a critical role in the evolution of civil aviation.
Despite wartime changes and the shift of some aircraft to Geiger Field (n/k/a Spokane International Airport), Felts Field remains a vibrant hub featuring charter services, flight instruction, and restoration of vintage aircraft. Be part of our history by enjoying Runway 4 Events Center.
